What is a fault the science kind?
crack in earths crust where two plates are sliding past each other
What kind of landforms are made by volcanoes?
It when plates colliding and making the volcanos also when the earths crust is open and the mantle or lava comes out,
Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
What kind of reactions provide a star with energy?
Stars obtain energy from a reaction called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion causes lighter elements to become heavier elements. The most common reaction fuses hydrogen into helium. But helium can fuse further, to even heavier elements. This releases energy until you reach the element iron. Anything heavier than iron consumes energy, rather than releasing it, when it is formed by nuclear fusion.thermonuclear fusion
What kind of currents drive earths plates?
Convection currents.
What kind of movement occurs when the earths plates push against each other?
earthquake

Where can mountains be created?
At breaks in the earths crust; like the tectonic plates; an earthquake can trigger a volcano, and depending on what kind of volcano it is, it can form a mountain.
Which is heavier batteries or a capacitator?
What kind of question is this? If I have a button cell, then a 15000 microfarad 16v capacitor will obviously be heavier, and a 1 microfarad 50v capacitor will weigh less than an AA battery, which will be lighter than a high voltage supercapacitor.
What kind of plates pull apart?
divergent plates
What kind of plates are under Japan's?
Tectonic plates
What kind of plates are made up of the earth?
The Earth's plates are called tectonic plates.
The kind of plates that cause mountains to form?
colliding plates
Through which kind of nuclear reaction does the sun produce energy?
Nuclear fusion. Lighter elements such as hydrogen atoms get fused to produce heavier elements such as helium. While doing so enormous heat is produced.
